<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="dryornis-pampeanus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Dryornis pampeanus is an extinct large condor-like or teratornithid bird from the Pliocene–Pleistocene pampas of Argentina. This carnivorous or scavenging bird possessed an impressive wingspan and likely soared over South American grasslands hunting or scavenging megafauna. Its Pampean fossils contribute to understanding the diverse raptorial avifauna of late Cenozoic South America.
